Grant’s Route

The last two days I’ve been working for Falkirk Community Trust. Yesterday David, Mike, Anthony and I were at Bennybeg with a school group rock climbing, abseiling and doing bushcraft.

Today Ken, Bex and I had a great day at Creag na h-Eighe looking at leading skills, building belays and climbing some of the classics of the crag. We had a couple of light showers, but nothing that stopped us climbing and the crag dried quickly in the light wind and sunshine.

Yesterday I was delivering a Learn to Lead Outdoors Course for Andrew, Hollie and John for Falkirk Community Trust Outdoors. We chose to head to Creag na h-Eighe for the forecast earlier dry weather and to catch the light breeze to keep the midges down.

This worked well and we had a good day climbing routes such as Grant’s Route, Jaggy Bunnets and Jugs, whilst getting to try new or revisit old skills.
